EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an admission ticket to the Dukes Bagnio in Long Acre, dating back to around 1680. The ticket, made of metal, is a fascinating relic from the 17th century English culture. The ticket was specifically reserved for women on a designated day at this public bathhouse. It offers a glimpse into the social customs and practices of that era, shedding light on how women indulged in leisure activities during that time. The image depicts a reclining female figure, possibly symbolizing relaxation and rejuvenation within the Turkish bath environment. The intricate details of her attire suggest an exotic ambiance reminiscent of hammams or traditional Turkish baths. Located in Covent Garden, this historical establishment would have been frequented by affluent members of society seeking respite from their daily routines. The presence of coins depicted on the ticket hints at the financial aspect associated with gaining entry into such exclusive spaces. Preserved as part of the Timothy Millett Collection, this photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a visual testament to our ever-evolving cultural landscape. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back centuries ago when public baths were not just places for cleansing but also served as centers for social interaction and relaxation for women in England's past.
